Oh noes, ah iz a Junior New Atheist

I'm more amused by this than anything else. But what's a bit annoying about the whole thing is that Michael Ruse is better than this - I used to count myself as something of a fan of his work. He's written some very good books. At the moment, as things seem to me, he's doing himself a disservice. Oh well, more later no doubt.

Nice to know I have some company as a junior New Atheists! I know what you mean about being disappointed with Ruse. I've also enjoyed some of his earlier books, and it's disappointing to see how far he's fallen.
